Uncle Wang, who has never been in a hospital in his life, fell ill after a recent rain. In the second half of the night, the severe pain in his stomach made him unable to sleep. Seeing that everyone was sleeping, he endured it like that.
In the morning, when Aunt Wang got up, she saw her husband huddled together, and hurriedly called a few sons.
The son is here, but he is not active, he just keeps studying what to do there.
Finally, everyone agreed to send Uncle Wang to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, the diagnosis came out soon – acute appendicitis.
Ultrasonography and blood test showed that Uncle Wang’s appendicitis was very serious. Without aggressive surgery, it is likely to be life-threatening.
Hearing that it was life-threatening, several sons agreed to the operation. However, definitely not on general anesthesia. This point, everyone can see, just don’t want to spend more money.
At last, Uncle Wang got a chance for surgery, and everyone quickly pushed him into the operating room.
However, it was really unpredictable: after the anesthesia, I asked Uncle Wang if it hurt. Answer: No pain. So, the surgery began. When he opened the skin, a distorted expression flashed across Uncle Wang’s face. After the electric knife was applied, Uncle Wang finally couldn’t hold it any longer and shouted “it hurts”.
Associating the failure of the puncture process, the anesthesiologist immediately thought of the problem of poor anesthesia effect.
At this point, the full amount of the epidural drug has been advanced. Therefore, we can only think of other ways.
Note: Epidural is a type of spinal anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia, also known as “half anesthesia”.
Faced with such a strong old man, the anesthesiologist is actually not sure whether the effect is lacking or not at all. In fact, I don’t blame him at all. Because the pain level of the elderly is inherently high, and they are not sensitive to pain stimuli; on the other hand, many working people are indeed resistant, and mild pain is not taken seriously at all.
After trying some analgesics, it didn’t seem to work. Therefore, the anesthesiologist decided to change the anesthesia method to general anesthesia.
During surgery, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the surgeon removed the swollen and inflamed appendix.
After half an hour, the operation was over.
Because of the short operation time and low amount of anesthesia, Uncle Wang quickly regained his breathing and consciousness.
The first sentence: Am I still alive? The atmosphere in the operating room suddenly relaxed.
However, when Uncle Wang was sent out of the operating room, the attitude of the family members was unacceptable.
Seeing Uncle Wang, whose consciousness is still a little fuzzy, the family asked: Isn’t it half-hemp?
The anesthesiologist said: The effect of half anesthesia is not good, so I changed to general anesthesia.
Who knows, these sons don’t even push the cart anymore and stopped to ask the reason for the anesthesia. During the conversation, some people questioned why they didn’t notify their family.
At that time, the anesthesiologist was so angry. tell you what? Let me know, is there any other way you can do it? Shouldn’t it be full anesthesia? Could it be possible to pull your dad off the operating table?
Looking at these sons, the anesthesiologist didn’t try to be tough with them. Because he doesn’t seem to remember emphasizing the change of anesthesia during surgery with his family. At this time, one sentence of communication made him regret.
